- Web browser Web browser
- One example of a Web browser is Internet Explorer® provided by Microsoft®. Other examples include Firefox® and Opera®.
- Each computer system may also include an input/output (I/O) device 30 , through which a user 34 interacts with the computer system.
- the I/O device may include a keyboard, mouse, screen (containing GUI 32 ), and the like.
- Browser 28 can be used to access search engine 48 .
- Search engine 48 and/or processes associated with search engine 48 , makes use of robots, spiders, crawlers, and various other computer programs to trace hyperlinks across the Web in order to populate database 50 .
- computer programs move from one Web site to another, index Web documents at those sites, and send indexed results back to database 50 , which here resides on the storage device 44 (or in memory 42 ).
- the results stored in database 50 are later used to respond to a search query. That is, a browser provides a search query, e.g., one or more keywords, to search engine 48 .
- search engine 48 searches its database 50 for Web documents that match the query or that are close to, but may not exactly match, the query. Search engine 48 displays a results list to the user in the browser.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of a browser screen 60 that displays search results 64 for keywords 62 , namely “notebook”, “memory” and “upgrade”.
- the search results include hyperlinks to documents that contain the keywords.
- Preview panel process 100 enables a user to select one or more of the items/entries in the search results 64 list, and to place the one or more selected list items in an auxiliary display panel (the preview panel).
- the preview panel displays the selected items, and may display items from different pages of the same search or items culled from other searches. This enables the user to organize, and to retain, results from multiple search pages.
- FIG. 3 shows an implementation of the preview panel.
- a screen 70 displays results 72 of a current search and a preview panel 74 .
- Preview panel 74 displays results culled from the current search and, in some implementations, may also display results of past and future searches (not shown here).
- preview panel 74 is populated through user input, such as a mouse click that selects a preview panel button 76 .
- Process 100 receives the data from the browser and, in response, generates preview panel 74 .
- preview panel 74 is analogous to a scratchpad in that it enables a user to generate a personalized list of Web results 72 that is separate from current search results displayed in a primary panel 80 . It is noted that the user input may be keystroke(s) or any other user/computer interaction.
- search results 72 when search results 72 are displayed in primary display panel 80 , a user can select one or more of the search results. This may be done by pointing and clicking on a particular search result (e.g., right or left click) or by dragging and dropping a particular search result from the primary panel to the preview panel.
- data is sent to process 100 , which responds by copying the selected search result to preview panel 74 .
- a copy of the selected search result remains in primary display panel 80 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
- a user selects items “2,” “7” and “8”.
- Process 100 displays the selected items 75 in preview panel 74 as items “1,” “2” and “3”.
- the entire search result is copied to preview panel 74 .
- only a portion of the search result may be copied, e.g., the uniform resource locator (URL) only.
- URL uniform resource locator
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing actions that may be performed by preview panel process 100 to generate and to populate the preview panel.
- preview panel process 100 receives ( 102 ) an input from a browser. The input may be, e.g., data indicating that preview panel button 76 has been selected.
- Process 100 generates ( 104 ) a preview panel in response to the input. That is, process 100 retains the current search results in primary panel 80 and generates an auxiliary panel—the preview panel—for use in displaying search results from the primary panel that are selected by the user.
- Process 100 sends data corresponding to the preview panel to the user's browser, where the preview panel is presented.
- Process 100 receives ( 106 ) a selected item (or items) from a search results list that is displayed in the primary panel.
- a user selects an item from primary panel 80 .
- data is sent from the user's browser to process 100 .
- the data identifies which of the search results has been selected. Identification may be based on information transmitted as a result of clicking on a hyperlink for the first item.
- process 100 copies ( 108 ) the selected item(s) for display in the preview panel.
- process 100 may send only a portion of the selected item(s) or augment the selected item(s) with additional content.
- Process 100 sends the resulting information to the user's computer, where it is displayed in the preview panel (in the user's browser).
- the contents of the preview panel may be retained from one search to another, and results from various searches and/or different pages of the same search may be combined in the same preview panel.
- a user may perform a second search for “USB”, “bus” and “adapter”.
- the results of this second search (not shown) may be displayed in primary panel 80 , taking the place of the search results for “notebook”, “memory” and “upgrade”.
- the originally selected items from the first search namely items 75 , however, may remain in preview panel 74 . Items from the second search may be copied to preview panel 74 , thereby augmenting the items 75 from the previous search. This may be the case for any number of searches.
- a user may be prompted to delete, or to retain, items in the preview panel. The prompt may be presented, e.g., between searches.
- an item presented in the preview panel may not be not an exact copy of the original item in the primary panel, but rather may contain more or less information than the original item.
- the processes described herein can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer hardware, firmware, software, or in combinations of them.
- the processes can be implemented as a computer program product, i.e., a computer program tangibly embodied in an information carrier, e.g., in one or more machine readable storage media or in a propagated signal, for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus, e.g., a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple computers.
